Notes about the Central Figure

Classification: Deity

Interpretation / Description

Deity Figure.

The male figure has seven heads and twelve hands, seated in a cross legged posture. None of the attributes in the hands can be clearly identified as unique to Tantric Buddhism or Hinduism making it difficult to establish a religious tradition.
